xboxdrv can do mouse emulation via the --mouse flag. As for driver development, xboxdrv uses libusb to communicate with the controller and uinput to send the inputs events to the kernel. Real drivers are written as kernel modules, but libusb/uinput make it easier to mess around with USB devices as its all in user space. -- Blog: http://grumbel.blogspot.com/ JabberID: xmpp:[email protected] ICQ: 59461927 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "xboxdrv" group.
